Episode 38 – Rumpelstiltskin: Spinning Chaos into Clarity

In this whimsical, laugh-out-loud episode of The JJs Declutter Podcast, Julie and Janis re-imagine the classic tale of Rumpelstiltskin — only this time, it’s less about spinning straw into gold and more about spinning clutter into calm.

From the Miller’s Daughter’s “Room of Doom” to the Queen’s collapsing crown rack, we uncover how magical organizing systems, funny item nicknames, and a few golden habits can turn even the messiest spaces into sparkling zones of peace.

You’ll discover:

• How naming your clutter (“Mount Washmore,” anyone?) can help you let go without guilt.
• Why zones are your magical secret for organization.
• How to stop bartering your peace of mind for panic cleaning.
• Why even Rumpelstiltskin needed better shelving.
• The #DeclutteringDozen method for quick wins every day.

Plus, our mini-game “Guess That Clutter” will have you laughing as you rethink that sequined “just in case” outfit or that mystery kitchen gadget.

Whether you’re a fairy-tale fan, a clutter conqueror, or someone who just needs a good laugh while cleaning, this episode will inspire you to reclaim your castle — one golden habit at a time.

Listen in and remember: Keep it Simple. Keep it Intentional. And — as always — Keep Decluttering!
